Quotes 

• John Diggle : The Scorpions? Yeah. I know 'em. But Diaz is on something different. New muscle, new crew. They're way too organized.

  Rene Ramirez : I wonder when he got himself a new crew and how he got to be the boss of it.

  Dinah Drake : And why he needs a weapons-grade 3-D printer.

  Curtis Holt : I think I have the answer to that. Drugs. High-end ones. I cross-referenced the two models that were stolen. What they have in common is their capacity to simultaneously print inert polypropylenes and soft material catalyst composites.

  Rene Ramirez : Did anyone understand a word of that?

  Felicity Smoak : You think Diaz is making Reactionware?

  Rene Ramirez : Anyone normal.

• Felicity Smoak : Curtis, you were right. The thieves were after the components of a 3-D printer.

  Rene Ramirez : Two innocent people get killed because some psycho wants to print plastic toys?

  Curtis Holt : This wasn't a consumer 3-D printer. This was military grade.

  Rene Ramirez : You're saying there's a printer that can print weapons?

  Curtis Holt : Or drones or chemicals.

• Dinah Drake : Sorry I missed the fun. Anyone want to catch me up?

  John Diggle : Break-in, Cadmus Tech.

  Dinah Drake : You're thinking Cayden James?

  Curtis Holt : That's what we were assuming, but this crew doesn't look like the type he ususally runs with.

  Dinah Drake : That would track with some new street chatter SCPD's been hearing lately.

  Rene Ramirez : What kind of chatter?

  Dinah Drake : New player. No idea what his game is. All we have is a street name: Dragon.

  Felicity Smoak : Dragon. Heh. That's colorful.

  John Diggle : Tomorrow's problem. Why don't we all get some rack time, hit this fresh in the morning?

• Rene Ramirez : Hey, anybody in the mood to stress eat?

  Felicity Smoak : Always. What you got?

  Dinah Drake : Quadruple cheese. Must be serious.

  Rene Ramirez : What's going on here?

  John Diggle : Trying to get a line on this Dragon guy, find out what he and his crew are up to.

  Felicity Smoak : [her computer buzzes]  Well, at least we know where they are. Just got a security alert; Palmer Tech, bio division.

  John Diggle : Good. Suit up. Stay sharp. Remember, these guys aren't afraid of dropping bodies.

• Felicity Smoak : I ran facial recognition over John's body cam footage. Meet Ricardo Diaz and his extensive criminal record. Does anyone want to guess what his street name is?

  [silence] 

  Felicity Smoak : Anyone want to guess?

  [another silence] 

  Felicity Smoak : You guys are no fun. His street name is Dragon.

  Dinah Drake : This jerkward's been out of prison less than a month. He's already racked up a body count.

  Rene Ramirez : This guy was doing double jolts of life plus one.

  Curtis Holt : What's that?

  Dinah Drake : Life without parole.

  Rene Ramirez : What's he doing walking around?

  Felicity Smoak : State Supreme Court overturned his convicitions due to technicalities. But before he was on the inside, he was running with a group called the Scorpions in the Glades.

• Curtis Holt : He doesn't show up on traffic cams. He doesn't leave a paper trail. Ricardo Diaz is good.

  Felicity Smoak : How's the research on his old associates going?

  Rene Ramirez : It's going lousy. Everybody mentioned in his arrest records is either missing or dead.

  Dinah Drake : Explains why no one's willing to talk to the department about Dragon.

• John Diggle : The moment I hesitated, even as the flames grew closer... that was my rock bottom. I should've told you all about the tremor from the beginning. I'm truly sorry I didn't.

  Rene Ramirez : So you're saying the tremor started before Black Siren showed her face in Star City?

  John Diggle : Yes. And that's why, Rene, I owe you the biggest apology of all. You should've known what was going on before we ever got to that bridge, man. My pride almost got you killed. I betrayed your trust, put your lives in danger. All I can ask is that you forgive me, but I understand if you can't.

  Rene Ramirez : Well, getting shot wasn't great, but if I'm counting the times you've saved my life against the times you almost got me killed, you're still ahead.

• Curtis Holt : So, have you already had an electromyogram? Wait. What am I talking about? We need to start off with an NCV test first.

  John Diggle : Curtis, it's been a long night. Is there any way we can do this in the morning?

  Curtis Holt : Sure thing. It would be my honor. It would be my pleasure.

  Rene Ramirez : [fake cough]  Kiss ass.
